3. System Version
The JSD-100 is continuously being improved. New features are added through software/firmware updates and
replacement of plug-in modules. This manual describes the JSD-100 versions available at this writing. Upcoming
features that are mentioned here but not yet implemented include internal crossovers and 32 channel AES output
module. Contact USL for the availability of these features.
Firmware/software versions for the systems described in this manual are listed in the table below:
4. System Overview
4.1 System Description
The JSD-100 cinema sound processor is specially designed for digital cinema applications. Low noise and low
distortion 96 kHz processing ensures superb presentations. In addition to the eight standard formats, the JSD-100
offers two fully configurable formats. The two user-configurable buttons can be configured to support a variety of
existing and future formats. They may also be used to duplicate an existing format but at a different fader level to
simplify desired volume changes between content types. The front panel display shows the current fader level, the
format name (which is user configurable), and the measured audio level on each channel of the main audio output.
The built-in bypass audio circuitry insures that the presentation goes on in the unlikely event of a system failure.

The JSD-100 is “automation friendly.” It features the standard DB25 parallel automation interface, an RS-232
(EIA232) interface, and Ethernet. The Ethernet interface accepts 5 simultaneous TCP connections to allow control
by a digital cinema server and other equipment while simultaneously being monitored over another TCP
connection.
The Graphical User Interface runs on Windows XP® and Windows 7® operating systems. It allows for complete
system configuration, monitoring, and firmware updates over USB, Ethernet, or RS-232. System monitoring,
control, and firmware update functions are also available on a standard web browser.
The JSD-100 is also “diagnostic friendly.” The system logs the last 32,000 events (format changes, level changes,
internal temperature, loss of AES audio, etc.) to internal flash memory. Log data can be reviewed on the GUI or
the web interface. Current operational status, including selected format, fader level, and measured audio output
levels, is available on the GUI and on the web interface. The current status of the system is also available over
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).
A plug-in module expands the standard 8 channel digital input (4 AES pairs) to a 16 channel digital input (8 AES
pairs). Another plug-in module decodes Dolby® Digital 1and alternate content inputs.
The HI and VI-N outputs are configurable on a per-format basis. Rear panel output modules are available to output
eight or sixteen analog signals (servo balanced outputs that can drive balanced or unbalanced loads), or 32 AES
channels (16 AES pairs). The model number (described below) determines which output module is installed.
4.2Model Numbers
The output module is field replaceable to allow a variety of output configurations. Available output configurations
include 8 analog outputs, 16 analog outputs, or 32 channels of AES/EBU audio. When more than 8 outputs are
available, the outputs can be used for additional auditorium channels (such as 13.1), or as outputs for the internal
crossovers.
The various JSD-100 options are identified by model number suffixes as shown in the tables below. The first letter
identifies input options, such as the number of AES inputs or decode options. The second letter indicates the
number and type of outputs, such as whether they are analog or AES. Note that all units also have analog HI/VI-N
outputs in addition to the outputs listed in the tables below.
A JSD-100MA has 16 AES input channels, Dolby Digital® and decoding for alternate content and 16 analog outputs.

4.5 Processing Channels
The JSD-100 has 14 “processing channels.” Each of these receives audio from a variety of sources. The “processing
channel” includes the main fader control, equalization, synchronization or input delay, surround delay (on the
surround channels), and, as an option, crossovers on the screen channels. Outputs on the rear panel are identified
by the channel usage (i.e., L for left). The table below describes the processing channels, their inputs, and how
their outputs are identified on the rear panel. Two channel inputs (COAX1, COAX2, TOSLINK, NON/SYNC, and AUX)
are identified as “stereo” inputs. If the USL DI-84 card is installed (first suffix of the model number is D or M),
stereo inputs can be decoded to several other channels. Without the DI-84 card, stereo inputs can drive left and
right directly or left, center, and right with the center being derived from left and right. These are identified as
“decoded stereo” in the table below. The rear surround channels may be driven by several AES sources plus a rear
surround derived from the side surround signals. When derived from side surrounds, the input is identified as
“decoded 5.1.”

A quick power-up test of the JSD-100 is suggested before mounting it in the equipment rack and wiring it up. This
test can quickly detect shipping or other damage.
Turn the AC power switch to the off position.
Using the supplied AC line cord or one appropriate for the installation location (the power supply is a universal
input supply 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz), connect the JSD-100 to the AC line.
Connect the supplied 12 VDC bypass power supply to the bypass power input on the rear panel of the JSD-100
and plug it in to the AC line. The front panel “Bypass Mode” LED should flash, the bypass power LED should
light, and one of the format buttons should light.
Press each of the format buttons and the mute button, one after another. The appropriate button should
light.
Turn on the AC power switch. The display should immediately light, but be blank. All the green power LEDs
on the bottom right of the front panel should light. The “Bypass Mode” LED should stop flashing.
After approximately 25 seconds, the format buttons will flash and then a single format LED will light. The
display should show the fader level and the selected format.
Press each of the format buttons, verifying that the corresponding LED lights and that the display changes
accordingly. Note that the format button LEDs for digital formats will flash when no digital input is provided.
Press the mute button verifying that its LED toggles each time the button is pressed.
Rotate the fader in each direction verifying that the fader numbers on the display change.
6.2 System Hardware Mounting, Grounding and Ventilation
The JSD-100 is designed to mount in a standard 19 inch (482.6mm) rack and is two rack units high (3.5 inches,
137.8mm). The JSD-100 should be mounted at “eye level” in the equipment rack for optimum display contrast and
visibility. We recommend vented panels (USL part number VP-1) above and below the JSD-100 whenever space
permits. Mounting the unit immediately above a major heat-producing component, such as a power amplifier, is
not recommended. Equipment mounted immediately above the JSD-100 should not be more than 9 inches
(225mm) deep to insure adequate airflow through the rear ventilation slots on the JSD-100. The JSD-100 includes

Page 13
a three-prong grounding plug and a three-wire power cord to accommodate a safe ground path from the chassis to
the electrical system ground. Defeating this ground by removing the ground prong is not recommended.
6.3 Eight Channel Analog Output Rear Panel Connections
A set of clip-on ferrite “beads” is supplied with the JSD-100. To insure the JSD-100 continues to meet FCC and CE
radio emissions requirements, one of these beads should be clipped around each cable connected to the rear
panel of the JSD-100 except for the TOSLINK, AC Power, and Bypass Power connection.

6.5 Audio Input Connections
8/16 Channel AES Input
The JSD-100 accepts 16 channel AES audio if the optional DI-80 card is installed. Otherwise, the JSD-100 accepts 8
channel AES audio. This input is typically driven by the digital cinema server (DCS). The JSD-100 includes a DB25F
connector using an industry standard4pin out and a pair of RJ-45 connectors using the StudioHub5pin out. The
first six channels are assigned speakers by industry convention. The remaining channels can be configured by the
user (i.e., sources for HI/VI-N, Lrs, Rrs, etc.). For convenience, all connector pin outs are listed in Appendix A.
Eight Channel Analog Input
The JSD-100 eight channel analog input is on a DB25F connector. The analog inputs are active balanced
(differential) inputs. They may be driven by balanced or unbalanced sources. When driven by an unbalanced
source, the negative input should be connected to the low side of the source at the source equipment to minimize
ground loop noise. The cable should be twisted pair with individual shields, even when driven by an unbalanced
source. A USL supplied ferrite block should be clipped around the cable to insure FCC and CE EMI requirements
are met. The DB25F connector uses the THX® pin out as specified in the table in Appendix A.
Two Channel Analog Inputs
The JSD-100 has two stereo (two channel) analog inputs (AUX and NS) on RCA connectors. Connect these to
appropriate sources using RCA cables. Various stereo decode methods are available in the system configuration.
These allow direct driving of the left and right speakers, adding a synthesized center channel, and adding surround
channels.
Two Channel Digital Inputs
The JSD-100 has two S/PDIF inputs and one TOSLINK input.
S/PDIF Inputs. Two stereo digital inputs on RCA connectors. These are marked COAX1 and COAX2 on the JSD-
100 rear panel. These are standard S/PDIF (Sony Philips Digital Interface) inputs. Connect these to appropriate
sources with 75 ohm coaxial cable with RCA connectors on each end. As with the other stereo inputs, various
decode methods are available. The USL supplied ferrite block should be clipped on to the cables adjacent to
the connectors to comply with FCC and CE emission requirements.
TOSLINK Input. A TOSLINK optical digital stereo input is included on the JSD-100. Connect this input to an
appropriate source with a standard TOSLINK cable. As with other stereo inputs, various decode methods are
available.
Single Channel Audio Inputs
The JSD-100 has a PA microphone input and an RTA microphone input. The USL supplied ferrite block should be
clipped on to the cables adjacent to the connectors to comply with FCC and CE emission requirements.
4The JSD-100 DB25 AES input uses a de-facto industry standard pin out. The pin out was the subject of a draft SMPTE Engineering Guideline in
2004. Though SMPTE never adopted the guideline, much of the industry adopted the pin out specified in this draft.
5Please see the Studio Hub website: www.StudioHub.com

PA Microphone Input. Plug a PA microphone in to the combination XLR / ¼”phone jack. The microphone
input may be configured to drive the main or the surround speakers. In addition, the PA microphone input can
drive the RTA for room equalization.
RTA Microphone Input. The RTA microphone input can drive the real time analyzer for room equalization.
The jack is a 3.5mm stereo jack with the high side of the microphone connected to tip and the low side to
sleeve. The connector ring is driven with +10V through 2.2k to power a preamp in the microphone.
6.6 Analog Audio Output Connections
Depending on which analog output module is installed, the JSD-100 provides eight or sixteen main channel outputs
plus HI and VI-N outputs. All outputs are balanced and may drive balanced or unbalanced loads. When driving
unbalanced loads, run two conductor shielded cable and connect the “–” terminal of the JSD-100 output to the
low side of the unbalanced load at the load instead of at the JSD-100 to minimize ground loop noise.
Main Audio Outputs
The main audio outputs are on a module that can be replaced from the rear. A variety of output modules are
available, including 8 channel analog, 16 channel analog, and 32 channel AES. Note that the 16 channel analog
output module supports crossovers. To allow for proper bypass operation, a passive crossover is included. For full
band operation (crossovers not currently implemented), set all four DIP switches to OFF and set the MID and HIGH
trim pots to full counter-clockwise. Adjust the LOW trim pot for the desired full range bypass audio level.
Remember that the front panel fader also affects output level when in bypass. The connections for these output
modules are detailed in Appendix A.
HI/VI-N Outputs
The JSD-100 has balanced HI and VI-N outputs that can drive balanced or unbalanced loads. As with other outputs,
the use of twisted pair shielded cable is suggested whether the load is balanced or unbalanced. When driving an
unbalanced load, connect the “–”output of the JSD-100 to low side of the unbalanced input at the destination
end of the cable to minimize ground loop noise. The source of audio to drive the HI and VI-N outputs is
configurable on a per-format basis. The VI-N audio output is typically driven by AES input 16. The HI audio output
can be driven from AES inputs 7 or 15, or from a main audio mix. The USL supplied ferrite block should be clipped
on to the cables adjacent to the connectors to comply with FCC and CE emission requirements. See Appendix A for
pin out information.
6.7 Automation Interface
The JSD-100 includes the traditional parallel automation interface plus RS-232 and Ethernet.
Parallel Interface
Pins 1 through 10 of the DB25F automation connector are “control” pins that accept contact closure or open
collector pulses to ground to select formats. On a format change, the corresponding pin is also pulsed low allowing
this interface to drive other equipment. Pulsing pin 11 low toggles the mute state. Pins 14 through 24 are “status”
pins. One of the pins 14 through 23 is pulled low continuously by the JSD-100 to indicate the selected format.
These pins could drive LEDs with a 470 ohm series resistor to provide a remote format indication. The JSD-100
pulls pin 24 low when the system is muted. Pins 1 through 11 are internally pulled up to +8.4V. They each source
400uA when grounded. A pin needs to be pulled below 2.6V for 10ms or more for the JSD-100 to recognize it as
low. On a format change, the JSD-100 pulls the appropriate pin low for 500ms. +5V at 100mA is available on pin 13
to drive external LEDs or relays. The individual control and status outputs can sink up to 150mA with an open
circuit voltage of +12VDC for inductive loads like relays or +24V for non-inductive loads (indicator lamps, etc.). Pin
12 is the “automation return.” Use this as the low side of switches and indicators instead of using chassis ground.
It is ground through a 10 ohm resistor to limit ground loop current. The USL supplied ferrite block should be
clipped on to the cables adjacent to the connectors to comply with FCC and CE emission requirements. See
Appendix A for pin out information.

Page 17
RS-232 Interface
The RS-232 interface appears on a DE9F connector on the rear panel. The connector is wired as a DCE device. A
command interpreter accepts ASCII commands (described in Appendix B) over the RS-232 and Ethernet interfaces.
The RS-232 port operates at 38.4kbps, 8N1 (8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit), hardware handshake. In most
situations, no handshake is required, and the RTS and CTS pins can be left open. The USL supplied ferrite block
should be clipped on to the cables adjacent to the connectors to comply with FCC and CE emission requirements.
See Appendix A for the connector pin out.
Ethernet Interface
The JSD-100 includes a standard 10/100Mbps Ethernet interface. The same automation commands (described in
Appendix B) are available on TCP connections to port 10001 on the Ethernet interface. The JSD-100 accepts up to
5 simultaneous TCP connections, allowing multiple control and monitor devices to be used. The Ethernet interface
also includes a web server. System status and basic control are available on internally generated web pages.
System status is also available over SNMP. The JSD-100 also includes a Network Time Protocol (NTP) client that can
be used to keep the internal real time clock accurate. Use a CAT5 or better Ethernet cable to connect the JSD-100
to the control network. The USL supplied ferrite block should be clipped on to the cable adjacent to the connector
to comply with FCC and CE emission requirements.
USL Link
The USL Link is an RS-485 bus used to interface the JSD-100 to other USL devices such as the JSDV-100 remote
volume control (discussed later in this manual). The USL supplied ferrite block should be clipped on to the cables
adjacent to the connectors to comply with FCC and CE emission requirements. See Appendix A for the connector
pin out.
7. Graphical User Interface Configuration
System Configuration using the Graphical User Interface
The graphical user interface (GUI) allows for configuration and monitoring of the JSD-100.
7.1 GUI Installation
The GUI runs under Windows® XP or Windows® 7 operating systems. Insert the supplied CD and follow the on-
screen instructions.
Note: The first release of the driver package will not work on Windows 7. The new WinUSB driver is a native USB
interface that is being used in this GUI application release.
USB Driver Removal
To remove the previous JSD-100 USB driver installation, the JSD-100 must be connected to the computer and by
using Device Manager, the driver will be
uninstalled using the following steps below:
Power on the JSD-100 and when startup is
complete, connect the USB cable to the
computer.
Run device manager and locate the “LibUsb
Devices” entry and select the USL JSD-100
Cinema Processor.
Right click the mouse to open the
properties dialog and then activate the
“Uninstall” button.
On Windows 7, check the delete option,
and then proceed by activating the “OK”
button.

Page 18
Unplug the USB cable and proceed to driver installation.
USB Driver Installation
The JSD-100 Installation (Setup) program creates a
subfolder called “WinUSB_Drivers” that will be
used for loading the new WinUSB driver.
Start device manager and then connect the
USB cable to a powered on JSD-100.
Select the USL JSD-100 Cinema Processor from
the device list and right click and select
“Properties.”
Use the “Browse my Computer for the driver
software” option to load the WinUSB driver.
Note that the search automatically option will
reload the old version and will need to repeat
the driver removal process.
Browse to “C:\Program Files\USL\JSD-100\WinUSB_Drivers” and then proceed to load the selected driver by
activation of the Next button.
Proceed to load the selected driver by selecting the “Install this driver software anyway.”
When the installation completes, the device manager will now display the USL JSD-100 Cinema Processor
under the libusb (WinUSB) devices. From the GUI the JSD USB device will appear in the Communications
Settings dialog.
7.2 Set IP Utility
The Set IP utility allows the user to configure the network settings on the JSD-100.
Connect the host computer to the USB port on the front of
the JSD-100. The JSD-100 should appear under the USB
Device List. It is identified by which USB port it is connected
to on the host computer. Click the JSD-100 on the found list.
Fill in the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway as dotted
decimal values. Press “Set IP” to save the values in the JSD-
100.
Fill in the network hostname for the JSD-100. The hostname
can be up to 15 characters long and cannot contain spaces.
The hostname will be converted to upper case before being
saved. Press “Set Name” to save the value to the JSD-100.

Page 19
7.3 JSD-100 Configuration
The JSD-100 is configured using the graphical user interface (Shown in start menu as: JSD-100 Digital Cinema
Processor). The GUI may connect to the JSD-100 over USB, RS-232, or Ethernet. In most installations,
configuration is done over USB. With USB, it is very clear which JSD-100 you are configuring (the one that the USB
cable is plugged in to). Note that you can import existing JSD-80 settings to the JSD-100. See File Management –
Open, below.
The GUI and the JSD-100 provide two sets of controls and two displays. For example, you can change the format on
either the JSD-100 unit or on the GUI and both will reflect the new value. If you open a configuration file when
connected to the JSD-100, all the settings in that configuration file are sent to the JSD-100. When you connect to a
JSD-100, all the configuration settings in that unit are loaded into the GUI. It is quite possible to operate the GUI
and create configuration files without the JSD-100 being connected. Make sure the new file is saved before
connecting the JSD-100 since the connection will cause the current values in the JSD-100 to be overwritten with
the values in the JSD-100. When the JSD-100 is connected to the GUI and a
new configuration file opened, that configuration data is copied out to the
connected JSD-100.
When the GUI is started, the “Overview Screen”will be visible. This screen can
show the status of multiple JSD-100 systems on a network. Click “Screen 1”to
bring up the details of the first (and only, at this point) JSD-100.
Click “Comm Settings” and then the “USB”tab. Make sure “Connect to first
available USB device” is checked and then press OK. Press the “Connect”
button to connect to the JSD-100. Current settings will be downloaded from
the JSD-100 and displayed on the GUI. Detailed below are the several buttons
that are visible along the top of the GUI.
File Management
This group of buttons detailed below deals with loading and saving configuration files from the host computer.
New. Pressing “New” creates a new configuration file with all settings at their default values. It does not
change the settings in the JSD-100 or in the GUI view of the JSD-100. You can use this as a starting point for
configuring a new system (you could also use open Default.j100, as described below). You will be presented
with a “save as” dialog asking you to name the new configuration file.
Open. Pressing “Open” allows you to load an existing configuration fie. Use Default.j100 to load the factory
defaults. You can then revise the settings and save them under another filename. Note that you may specify
either a JSD-100 or JSD-80 configuration file under “file type.” If the JSD-100 is replacing an existing JSD-80,
use the JSD-80 GUI to save the configuration file if it is not available on the computer you’re using. Then, with
the JSD-100 GUI, open the JSD-80 configuration file. Common data, such as equalization, will be loaded into
the JSD-100.
Save. The “Save” button prompts you for the filename under which the configuration data is to be saved.
Data can be restored to this or another unit using the Open button.
Communications
This group of buttons sets communications parameters between the GUI and the JSD-100 and allows connections
to be set up and taken down.
Connect. The GUI connects to the JSD-100 specified in the Comm Settings dialog over the specified link.
Disconnect. The GUI disconnects from the currently viewed JSD-100.
